The tab will tell the player how many red boarders (RB) they’ve accumulated for a specific weapon but it should also tell you where to go for that specific weapon’s RB. i.e. what activity/mission the pattern/weapon is tied to. That doesn’t mean it’ll drop very often but at least the player knows that if they grind that activity, eventually a RB will drop.

In the meantime just check your weapon collection tab.
